Vehicle Description
2010 Freightliner M2 112 Sportchassis
VIN: 1FVAFHCV1ADAR6053
Starting with a Freightliner Sportchassis truck, Canepa Concept
Transporters designed, engineered, and fabricated a complete custom
turn-key single car transporter for a customer's Bugatti Veyron. It
was built as the ultimate single-car transport, with an integrated
lift system with super simple operation that allowed the Veyron to
be driven onto a ground level exterior platform, secured, and then
automatically moved into the interior of the box for transport via
a wireless remote control.
The secure enclosure was hand formed out of smooth aluminum with
radius corners and "rivetless" panel assemblies. It has a one-piece
aluminum roof, with all aluminum and steel main frame and wall
supporting structure. At the back are easy to operate aluminum
double rear swing doors.
The expansive and secure belly boxes are fabricated from formed
aluminum and lined with a rubberized spray-on liner. Belly box
doors and all related exterior panels are fabricated from formed
aluminum panels with aluminum tube support frames.
Very easy to drive and maneuver, the transporter is based on the
successful Freightliner Sportchassis platform. Inside the four-door
crew cab are leather Bostom T-Series Wide Ride front seats, a full
Pioneer audio/video system with Direct TV, and comfortable seating
for five passengers. The truck is secured by a state-of-the-art
security system.
This truck is the ultimate mover for any supercar, hypercar, or
vintage collectable car - transporting you and your vehicles
safely, securely and privately.
